Review: Commencal Meta Power SX Avinox
"...even one with a bonus 1,300W on tap, roughly the equivalent of three Lance Armstrongs pedalling for you." I 100% support this metric being used in all future e-bike reviews.

E-Bike Specs Decoded: What Peak Power, Torque, and Assistance Ratios Really Mean
1500W for 6 Minutes. 1000W for 28 minutes. That's a lot longer than I would have expected for 'peak.'
Just as a benchmark, Lance Armstrong claimed he could hold 500W for 30 minutes, making the modern ebike twice as powerful as the fastest cyclist of the EPO era.

Are those kinematic graphs at the end really supposed to be labeled 32t/34t, or is that hi vs low flip chip? I didn't think chainring size had such a large impact on leverage ratio!
